Incomplete dominance is a genetic condition where neither of the two alleles is dominant, and thus a heterozygous individual will express a phenotype that is an intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes. For example, in a flower with incomplete dominance for the color gene, a homozygous red flower crossed with a homozygous white flower will produce offspring with pink flowers, which express an intermediate phenotype.
